A cold, windy night did nothing to slow the Glenwood girls track team.

The Rams wrapped up eight gold medals as they ran away with the team title at the Lady Tiger Relays Thursday in Red Oak.
The weather, some illness and some injuries maybe have slowed the Rams a bit, said Glenwood coach Cory Faust, but the focus was there all meet.

After abysmal first half shooting and its largest halftime deficit of the season, Glenwood rallied back from 20 points down over the final 16 minutes to defeat Atlantic 63-61 in the Class 3A, District final finals at Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln tonight.

“These kids have heart and they have grit,” said Glenwood coach Curt Schulte after the game. “At halftime, there was no doubt in their minds that they were going to come back and win this game.”

His Rams had just knocked off Red Oak 64-42 and wrapped up a share of the Hawkeye 10 Conference title – the school’s first since 1952.

“This feels great,” Schulte said after the game, still holding the game ball with a Hawkeye 10 Conference Champions t-shirt slung over his shoulder. “The kids are excited. They wanted this. This was one of our goals since the summer. This is something we were shooting for and it was great to get it tonight.”

SHENANDOAH – A close look at the numbers for the Glenwood boys basketball team a trend appears: 74 points.
In eight of its 11 wins this season, the Rams, who are fifth in Class 3A averaging 70 points per game, have matched or exceeded 74 points.

MALVERN - A costly turnover late in the game prevented Fremont-Mills from ending Stanton’s perfect season as the Vikings won the Corner Conference Tournament Championship 48-44 Saturday night in Malvern.

Stanton improved to 15-0 on the season with the win, which gave them their first CC Tournament championship since 1997.
Both teams struggled to find an offensive rhythm early in the game, as Stanton led 9-7 after the first eight minutes.

A 14-3 Essex first quarter lead was too big a hole for the Fremont-Mills girls to dig out of.
The Knights struggled against the Trojans’ full-court pressure all night and couldn’t rally late despite a valiant comeback effort that cut the lead to three points in the third quarter of a 38-26 loss last Tuesday in Corner Conference girls basketball.

The Glenwood girls came all the way back from a double-digit deficit to trim Harlan’s lead to seven with six minutes to go but that would be as close as they would get as the top ranked Cyclones scored the game’s final 11 points in a 53-35 victory Friday in Hawkeye 10 Conference basketball.
